Nice looking heli, I have a friend who is starting to get the bug so might be a good first step for him, bigger heli's just seem to scare people off, so auto level and panic button are a good feature

 

It would be better than mCPx, Nano, or 180cfx...... less twitchy I bet.

 

Upon further investigation, using Red Bull 130x parts for a 230s 4-blade is way cheaper than Rakon. I can get the entire head assy, grips, feathering spindles, links, swash, and main blade set for $70 (USD) where Rakon wants $100 for head, grips, and links... no swash or blades. It's fortunate most of the larger Blade micro-helis use a 4mm main shaft! Yes, I have 4-blade on the brain this week. I'd put one on my 120sr if it weren't for the damn fly-bar.

 

He's got a control and sim and learning hovering & orientations before flying the real thing =)

 

Now there is rumor of a 270CFx to be released......

 

Not my vid! I came across it while searching YouTube......

Good to see it flying without being smacked around.....

 

I saw same video earlier.

 

Word has it the 230s is scheduled to drop (pardon pun) sometime next week. (US)​

 

About time!!!!

 

Correction: I read where someone has been in contact with HH today and now it's mid September.

 

Ah man!!! Seriously...... How can Europe already have them and the US still have to wait...... God knows when we will see them in OZ

 

That would be right. Oz is usually kept on the back burner.

 

I don't know. ...... Is Europe closer to China? Maybe they haven't cleared US Customs yet.

 

Just noticed the ETA in OZ is Sep 19th

 

HH show them as in stock!!!!

 

That one traveled fast. Hmmm...... How long are they gonna sit on em?

 

Reading reports of shipping confirmations and tracking numbers being e-mailed out today...............

 

People are receiving their orders now..... waiting for the reviews to be posted......

 

Seems to be some trouble with the swash not sitting level......

 

Yes.... I read that also.
